Nike Total 90 III “Croatia” Gets World Cup Ready

At 40 years old, Luka Modrić is preparing for what could be one final run at World Cup glory, and the Croatian support will be as loud as ever. Right on cue, Nike is making sure fans are fitted for the moment with the new Nike Total 90 III “Croatia,” a national-team-inspired take on the revived football icon.

The Nike Total 90 III “Croatia” leans directly into the country’s unmistakable red-and-white checkerboard identity, using the pattern across the midfoot and heel for an instant link to Croatia’s famous kits. The execution is bold without taking over the whole shoe, as Nike balances the look with a clean white leather forefoot, white laces, and a white collar.

Blue accents add the final piece of the national color story, appearing on the embroidered Swoosh at the toe, the oversized “90” logo at the midfoot, and the Total 90 III branding at the heel. Underfoot, a gum rubber outsole gives the pair a classic indoor football feel, tying it back to the model’s original performance roots while keeping it grounded as a lifestyle release.

The design also continues Nike’s wider football push around the World Cup, with the Total 90 III now serving as one of the brand’s strongest lifestyle links between early-2000s football nostalgia and modern sneaker culture. For Croatia fans, this pair arrives at the perfect time, especially with Modrić’s last dance storyline set to be one of the tournament’s biggest talking points.

The Nike Total 90 III “Croatia” is expected to release on July 1st via Nike.com and select retailers.
